    Zedwig may not have liked the rule-reading guy, but I sure did. xD That whole list had me cracking up. He sort of looks like the Wiz.

    I like how Derf and Zedwig are in concert about this whole duel thing. It's almost as absurd as the bees.

    He doesn't like puns? Twenty point penalty!

    Love Zedwig in the last panel :D

  3. Anony

    This is amazing! *falls over laughing*

  4. Lady_Nilstria

    Goodness gracious but Zedwig is pretty. :-D Him in the last panel should be put on a little poster for us to buy so we can constantly look at his model-like Elven PRETTINESS without having to go online.

    I mean, seriously. Who doesn't love Zedwig?

  5. Barrett

    Holy Crap, “the Wiz” is dead! lol, this is great. :)

    Rofl this page is so funny!!!! “Who was that?” “I have no idea.”

  7. Zypher

    You know, I really think it WAS the wiz. Remember how last time he showed up Fang and Zedwig were like “who is this guy?” “I dunno, I thought he was yours.”

  8. Me

    Teehee And I like their facial expressions on panel three!

  9. Lini

    Right! This time though, they refrained from calling security! :D Zedwig was just like “No rules for you! *ZAP*”

    the two of them being in concert is indeed absurd as the bees, lini. derf seems to understand what drives zedwig, though, and that is equally unreasonable, still i like it. and i love it that you all figured out that the rules-guy was the wiz, you must be right about that – ha! i despise puns and agree with his rules, though riddles often seem to be involved in battles of wits, but it's hilarious that zedwig disappeared him, whether he was killed or not (we can't be sure about that unless colby says so – he could have been merely transported to a grassy field where james was waiting to finish him off after he's done with hope – hope will survive though! ha!). one thing that bothers me on these black and white panels is that without color, zedwig is not noticeably different in appearance from sangwine. confusing!

  11. colbycheese

    As is the case with many gray-scale mangas. However, there are definite set physical differences between the two which you may not realize until you see them side by side.

  12. colbycheese

    You can see why I had to color that panel…

  13. colbycheese

    IS HE

  14. Annalia

    Zee eyebrows! Watch zee eyebrows! XD

    I'd actually only noticed that when you switched to grayscale. There's probably others, but that one jumped on me and is good enough to tell. I think we'd just been paying too much attention to all the pretty hair awesomeness going on around LinT. ^^

  15. Zypher

    Yay zapping of the man who betrayed Al'ice and Al'bert…. or was it Alice again? O.o; Either way, after reading Fromage I kinda liked her.

  16. Jen

    Sangwine's face is significantly more angular and square in the jaw and chin. And eyebrows are thicker. Manlier features, at least for an elf.

    These last few pages have been hilarious! Especially lighthearted considering all the dying.

  17. colbycheese

    Jen: For some reason your comments keep getting flagged as spam, and I don't know why! Maybe it's your listed site url or something?

    PS thanks for the compliment, and for noticing the physical differences. Zed is the most androgynous of all the boy elves.

  18. Crystal

    lol that guy's funny yay point one for Zed!!!

  19. CC

    Totally random question here… does Zedwig have a last name? Everyone else seems to have one…

  20. A Reader

    I am LOVIN' the third panel. All of their expressions are just such a hilarious combo.

  21. colbycheese

    It was Alice at that point yes!

  22. HelenaHermione

    What a way to fight a war–the 'duel sur la wits'. Of course, Derf has the upper hand here, being so widely read, but Zedwig has his own 'wits' about him–how else could he have survived so long, even with Fang's favoritism/need of him? I guess this was the only way they could compete against each other without Zedwig completely killing everyone…if Fang was around, this wouldn't be around. Well, when the cat's away, the mice will play–or duel.

    And, of course, the Wiz had to be there–just to get his comeuppance, and a few laughs. He's got that annoying attitude down-pat–even on the comics' page, you can tell.

  23. Mad-Dawg

    Is this “Lucky Charms Adorn My Robe” guy? If so, What happened to the stars and moons? and BALLOONS?

  24. colbycheese

    He, uh, had to get more robes after the fight in the monolith where Xylic blew him up and they were out of lucky charms robes at the time. That's it.

  25. lizybeth

    This comment makes me want to break out into song:

    Ding-dong the Wiz is dead
    Which old Wiz?
    The wicked Wiz!

  26. keLpy

    heh this is so hilariously cute
    but i liked that guy. =(
    Zedwig why'd you have to zap him….

    i'm loving Derf's smile in the 3rd panel btw.

  27. Mad-Dawg

    AHHHH!!!! NNOOOOOOO!!! He doesn't even have his lucky charms robes in the Monolith!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :'( WAAAHHHH!!! I'm desperately disappointed now.

  28. colbycheese

    Okay um then the Lucky Charms robes are his “dress robes”. There.

  29. Jen

  30. Crystal

  31. Crystal

  34. Crystal

    When's the next one coming? IS IT ABOUT BACTINE??????????? (plz?)

  35. Crystal

    lol that takes me back to my Harry Potter days lol

  36. Arhdiy

    Ha! that satisfaction face on the last panel…
    brilliant!!!
    now, with the new grey scale panels (wich btw sort of manga style, confusing sometimes, missing the colorful ones) some of the Zedwig facial expressions look more femenine, thats the contrast with the other elfs?
    looking forward to see how it will develop the next two duels
    nice work Colby
    ok… where's my sis?

  37. colbycheese

    Seems to work! :)

  38. colbycheese

    No, it's Fang doing the Kirk-chop on a bandit.

  39. Alicia Murphy

    Haha! I love the expressions!!! Zedwig is so secretly funny, poorguy. Derf is sweetness too!

  40. LuckyMrph

    WTFREAK?!?! Haha! That makes me laugh so hard! Zedwig “PSH!!! Wasn't me! (hehe) Who're we talking about?” Derf “This is goin' my way as it should- WHAT THE…. Who was that???” Wiz… “Blah blah blah GYAA!”

  41. Crystal

    Buahahahahaha
    I still say the next one must be about pill bottle

  54. Anony

    Guys! Lint is #2! We have to do something about it!
    We're just 26 votes away from #1. And we can vote every hour!

    Come on… You know you want to look at the pretty Zedwig lineart again! And again! :)

  55. Mad-Dawg

    So if you just press the “Webcomic Planet” icon and go to the website, it counts as a vote (once every hour) or do you actually have to press a button that says “VOTE”? Do i even have the correct website?

  56. Anony

    I think that's it. At least for me, it says “Thank you for choosing to support “Lint”, Your IP has been recorded and you may show support for this site once every hour.”

    So I assume it should count as a vote

    Zedwig, releasing some pent up frustration/craziness.
    :D

    Zedwig’s face: Thats the first person I’ve actually been happy to hurt for a looong time. :D
